After several months of private online Hindi lessons, I can thoroughly recommend Zabaan. My friendly, patient and knowledgeable teacher, Riya, not only provides clear explanations of grammar and vocabulary, but also presents the language within a cultural context. Classes are flexible, informative and always interesting. After years of inconsistent attempts at self-learning Hindi, thanks to Zabaan I am finally making real progress.

I have been working on my written business English with Zabaan for more than a year now and believe that I have improved my skills a lot. The credit goes to Zabaan and the tailor made classes of my teacher Mr. Saraf. Thanks a lot!

I came for the 4 week group intensive beginner Hindi course at Zabaan. The best part was the instructors who are well trained and highly knowledgable of the language. The courses are well structured and include a healthy mix of instruction, speaking practice and writing practice. Although only a four week course for beginners, I am leaving able to have a much better knowledge of Hindi when around Hindi speaking friends as well as being able to communicate on basic things myself. Looking forward to continuing with the school in the future and would recommend for those seeking Hindi classes in Delhi.

I joined Zabaan for the Urdu script course to learn how to read and write Urdu. My experience here has been absolutely wonderful and I'm glad I chose to go here. The pace and the structure of the course is very well-planned and I was delighted to find that I had begun reading Urdu after only three classes. The staff at Zabaan is extremely helpful and accommodating. I exchanged many emails with them before joining and they promptly responded to each of my queries. Ali is an amazing teacher to learn from. He's very patient and encouraging, and his passion for the language is easily reflected in his knowledge and teaching. I've immensely enjoyed each of his classes and would recommend anyone considering learning Urdu to join Zabaan without a second thought.
